Several leading companies, including Zhongwen Online, Hicon, and Qisi Miaoxiang, successfully passed the review, highlighting the trend of quality development in the industry. Among them, the new drama "Train to 1942," based on modern revolutionary themes and submitted by Shandong Radio and Television Station and its listed company Hicon (301262), successfully passed the registration and was selected as a quality project for online audio-visual programs in Shandong Province for 2026. Hicon continues to solidify its position as a leading manufacturer of micro-short dramas in the broadcasting and television sector, leveraging its full industry chain layout and accelerating the release of differentiated quality content. According to official registration data from the National Radio and Television Administration, the number of key micro-short dramas registered nationwide from January to May 2026 has steadily increased, showing a full recovery in creative production vitality after the adjustment period following the implementation of new regulations. Hicon is focused on the quality main theme track, relying on broadcasting and television resources, and implementing the "micro-short drama +" quality creation policy from the administration. It does not blindly pursue market homogenization but differentiates its layout with innovative thematic content in main themes, legal education, intangible cultural heritage, and realism. Previously, several quality dramas co-produced or produced by the company, such as "Palace Wall Discontent" and "River God Festival," topped the online popularity charts. "River God Festival" was included in the Spring Festival recommendation list by the National Radio and Television Administration, and the quality micro-short drama "Time Reversal" co-produced with the Ministry of Public Security's News Media Center is in preparation for launch. The jointly released Hong Kong cultural tourism quality micro-short drama "Tomorrow's Appointment" has been broadcast on Shandong TV, and the traditional culture series micro-short drama "Poetry and Song Hometown" is in production. The company has also signed an AI comic drama cooperation agreement with Douyin, continuously gaining industry recognition for its micro-short drama creation capabilities. Reviewing Hicon's 2025 annual report data, the company has established a full-chain development strategy for micro-short dramas, which includes "one film and television base, one product matrix, and a batch of quality short dramas." The effectiveness of its industrial layout has been fully realized, becoming a core support for the company's second growth curve. On the hardware side, the micro-short drama film and television base (Qingdao Cangma Mountain) jointly built with Qingdao has been included in Shandong Province's key cultural industry projects, recognized as a national annual quality filming base, and written into Shandong Province's "14th Five-Year Plan." By the end of 2025, the base has served over 500 film crews and filmed nearly 300 short dramas, becoming a core carrier for the micro-short drama industry in the northern region. On the content side, Hicon has produced and launched nearly 200 short dramas, with ample quality reserves. The annual report shows that in 2025, Hicon signed and invested in over 100 micro-short dramas, co-produced and created 60, and has a vast reserve of IP and original scripts covering main themes, legal education, cultural tourism, and AI innovation, continuously deepening its three distinctive brands of "micro-short drama + legal education," "micro-short drama + intangible cultural heritage," and "micro-short drama + cultural tourism." On the channel side, the company has built an integrated distribution network for large and small screens, with its own "Hicon Theater" APP, operating short drama mini-programs on WeChat, Douyin, and Kuaishou, as well as accounts across various platform matrices. It leverages the advantages of operator business cooperation to launch mobile co-branded member short drama products, opens a large-screen short drama section relying on Shandong IPTV, collaborates with Shandong TV on a quality online micro-short drama theater, and launches the Octopus comic drama and Octopus short drama brands on Hongguo short dramas, constructing a multi-channel profit-sharing model From January to May, the warming of the State Administration of Radio and Television's micro-short drama key project filing data confirms that the industry is entering a healthy upward cycle. With the continuous improvement of the filing standards for micro-short dramas by the State Administration of Radio and Television, and the ongoing special governance actions to combat harmful and vulgar content as well as copyright infringement and piracy, the short drama industry is accelerating the elimination of low-quality content, shifting towards high-quality productions, and embracing the development trend of mainstream themes. Hicon's short drama business, relying on state-owned capital broadcasting qualifications, its own filming base, and full-channel distribution as three major barriers, is expected to welcome a development window period and will continue to benefit from the regularization and high-quality development of the industry, likely growing from a supplementary business to an important increment in the company's performance ### Related Stocks - [301262.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/301262.CN.md) - [300364.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/300364.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Negative Link Announces Global Expansion and Next Phase of Growth](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296644416.md) - [Roularta Media Group posts H1 2026 results press release](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296573558.md) - [FONDIA: Profitability improved sharply in H1 2026, driven by growth in Finland and the Baltics](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296439068.md) - [LongBio Pharma says China regulator accepts LP-003 BLA for seasonal allergic rhinitis](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296541366.md) - [Troilus Mining drills 8.84 g/t AuEq over 4.8 m at Z87 extension in Quebec project](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296479272.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
